[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 227250, member: 13090"] Okay... That makes perfect sense. When I find myself in situations like this I find the "trick" is being able to think quickly and act accordingly. You don't ask the couple to move outdoors but you look through your viewfinder and you move about until the composition "pops". I can't really explain it any better than that... but it *will* happen most of the time, you just have to find the right angle until everything sort of falls into place. The exercise here is how you interact with your viewfinder. Keep your eye GLUED to your viewfinder and don't just look at your subject, look at the WHOLE frame and move yourself, or your subject if you have to, until the composition pops. Don't over think it... Move and watch... Move and watch... When the moment is right you'll feel it, and that's when you release the shutter. I also like wud's comments about making the surroundings part of the photo you're taking. Sometimes you eliminate, sometimes you integrate. Move and watch... Wait for everything to feel right and grab the shot. Stop thinking about it so much and just feel the shot. If you can do that, the power of those feelings will come through your photography and people will respond to it. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
